As the Olympics are fast approaching, there's no better time to emphasise the importance of caring for your skin during physical activity. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or someone enjoying a more active lifestyle, taking care of your skin is crucial. Exercise exposes your skin to sweat, environmental elements, and other stressors, making it essential to have a skincare routine that supports and enhances your performance. Active Beauty ensures that your skincare is as robust and dynamic as your fitness regime, keeping you looking and feeling your best, no matter the challenge.
We initially introduced Active Beauty at SCS Formulate in 2017, in response to the increasing demand for products that cater to active lifestyles. As we look ahead to 2024 and beyond, the significance of the active beauty sector continues to grow. Active Beauty is all about bridging the gap between skincare and fitness. It is about recognising that our bodies go through a lot when we exercise - from sweating it out at the gym, to braving the elements outdoors – and tailoring our skincare routines to support those activities.
Active Beauty is a reflection of our increasingly health-conscious lifestyles. More and more people are prioritising fitness and wellness, and they want skincare products to align with their active lifestyles. With the rise of "athleisure" culture [1], workout wear transitioning from the gym to the streets, it is only natural that our skincare routines would follow suit.
As we delve into the world of Active Beauty, we're excited to introduce you to a range of formulations designed to support your active lifestyle. These innovative products are crafted to withstand the rigours of physical activity, ensuring your skin and hair remain protected, nourished, and rejuvenated.

Menthol Cooling Stick |
For those hot summer days when you need a cooldown, our Cooling Stick comes to the rescue. Apply pre-workout to exposed skin, and watch the magic happen as you start to work out.

Sporty Sprite Toner |
